I think i got a nice deal on a  additional NST hopefully. But i have to wait 
two weeks to get it thou.

Its 5Kv 120ma, same make as the 8Kv 60ma one i already got.
If i parallel the primaries (of the NST:s) and short the secondarys i get 
roughly 1kVA to my larger transformer ?
Do i need anything additional, or is it just to hook them up as you 
suggested ?

It would be almost perfect matchup for my coil and cap. LTR needs to be 
around 34nf and i got 30nf.

Btw here is a video of my coil i got up and running last weekend with the 
singel nst. Still needs some tuning.
